as you know, defense will take a significant cut and john mccain, the senator from arizona was out there all over the weekend talking about that. [video clip] >> we have already cut, and now you lay on top of that he's enormous reductions as well, and, by the way, defense is 19% of the overall discretionary budget. defense is taking 50% of the cuts. if we do not believe military leaders, who in the world do we believe? i think what we are doing now to the men and women better serving is unconscionable because they deserve it predictable life in the military, and also these federal employees who did not know when they are to be laid off or not, not to mention contracts. host: "the new york times" reports on a little bit of a twist. here's the lead story -- host: fort worth, texas. democrat on the line. tony. caller: good morning. host: what part of the budget are you most concerned about cutting or most eager to see cut? caller: i am concerned about cuts in the military because i am former military, and i am concerned about cuts across the board. i feel it is a self-inflicted wound, and i
